Development of the
Fedorova Tundra deposit

Enhancing Russia’s leadership presence in the global PGM market
Developing promising areas in the Arctic
Providing essential materials for the Russian industry
Fedorova Tundra is Europe’s largest deposit
of platinum group metals

In 1935, Soviet geologists discovered copper, nickel, and platinum group metals in the central part of the Kola Peninsula.

Today, these materials are widely used in cutting edge industries, including green technologies.

New impetus for
the Murmansk Region to grow and evolve

Creating one of the world’s largest facilities to mine for platinum group metals will help develop a metals and mining cluster in the region, improve the region’s credit rating, and drive the market for services offered by local providers.

With additional support from the state budget, the region will have the resources needed to go ahead with social programmes in healthcare, education, and utilities, resulting in positive demographic changes.
